ERIE, Pa. (AP) - Police say a Pennsylvania man, irate because
the family dog defecated on the floor, kicked the animal to death,
then killed his five-month-old daughter by shaking her when she
cried.
Twenty-four-year-old Vincent Davis of Erie has been charged with
homicide in the death of Savonnia Davis. He's also charged with
aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, endangering the welfare
of a child and cruelty to animals.
Police say Davis initially told them the girl slipped from his
hands as he was changing her diaper, but later admitted shaking
her.
The bady died at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Thursday, two
days after the incident. Doctors say she also had broken ribs,
fluid on the brain, and cuts and bruises.
Police found the dog's body in a trash bag on Davis'
girlfriend's porch.
Davis is being held without bail

this is a very sad example why animal abuse must be dealt with like the serious crime that it is, they just start out with animals they escalate to humans. that baby died a horrible death, i hope they fry the jerk.

This makes me sick to my stomach !
How hard is it to walk away, take ten deep breaths and regroup ?
The life of a helpless child and dog are finished because this man couldn’t do that.
He deserves the highest method of punishment there is.
